Nice feel and comfort
As others have mentioned, they are on the shorter side than most bar tapes perhaps, however, I had no intention of taping all the way to the stem, I have clip on ero bars for starters, so I didn't need or want to. Attractive tape for the bike and feels really soft on the road. Id definitely recommend.

looks good, but a bit too thin for my liking
The perforated design of this tape works really well with my bike, also the top layer has hasa nice texture to it.
However, the sticky gel on the undesired of this tape is quite narrow and thus dictates the overlap of the tape on the bars. For me the overlap is too thin.

Better Than Expected
When I purchased this product, due to the reviews I was a little skeptical. Personally I think there is enough tape to do a figure of 8.I understand that there is no cheat tape but a video on youtube showed how to wrap. The product is comfortable and the red in the perforations looks great with my bikes colour scheme. Will be buying again when I need to replace!

Good value bar tape
High quality tape which looks good too.
Only minor frustration with this tape is that it soaks up a lot of water in the rain. Not perfect if you have to keep your bike outside!

Great comfort, very good look
I absolutely love this bar tape. Looks very well, offers brilliant comfort and is also durable and pretty stain less.

Looks smart - easy to fit
My first time trying to do the job myself rather than rely on LBS. Bought two sets of tape to allow for learning/errors.
Good news, although this has a tacky adhesive strip on the back it can be taken off and adjusted a few times without impairing final fix. The result a good finish, albeit it took a while to work out it needs a real tight wrap to achieve a professional looking result.
Hasn't been on bike long enough to comment on wear or tear but it appears a robust tape that easily withstood an amateur mechanic and looks great in black with red perforations. certainly doesn't look a quarter the price of some of the premium brands!

avoid if you like your whites to stay white
the white version is awful, it attracts dirt like moths to a flame. after one ride it needed replacing. stick with fizik.

Best tape i have used
For the money this ios the most comfortable tape i have used- much more comfortable than any deda or similar tapes i have used. It really does take the shock out of the road. Plus, the red behind the holes make sit look awesome too.

Great tape at a great price
Very impressed overall. Sticky, with a reasonable amount of padding. Easy to clean also if required. Only small niggles that there isnt much excess tape and they dont supply extra tape for the hoods. (not that you need it if you do it right :-) ) But at this price, you should be able to live with that.

great bar tape for the money
bought this as a replacement for the oem bar tape on my giant. it's way better than the original stuff and does the job brilliantly. excellent value

does the job
very pleased with this, goes on well a good grippy feel, could do with being a bit 'plusher' but more than adequate, washes well, be warned the red backing shows through the perforations particularly on the black

Good quality for the price, but too short
For some reason, this tape is just way too short. I've wrapped a lot of bars recently with different bar tape and never had an issue before. But with this the tape was way to short.

Value for money but missing something....
I usually use Fizik tape which is expensive. Tried this on an old bike and it works fine but would be handy if the manufacturer included a couple of strips of 'cheater's tape' for the back of the brake levers.

Doesn't stick to the handle bars
I don't see the point of this stuff. The amount of adhesive is microscopic so it just peels itself off after 10 mins. It looks and feels nice and is reasonably priced but seem ultimately useless.
I am going to look for old fashioned handlebar tape.

Great feel, but bit short to wrap
Great feeling tape. Looks good and soft but tight on the bar. Did fin that it could use with an other 100mm length.

Good looking tape with nice grippy feel.
This tape has a nice tacky but not overly sticky feel with ample grip.
It's not too bulky and proves fine shock absorption.
Nice visuals with the coloured PU showing through the perforations.
It does seem to soak up a lot of water if you get wet and can take a while to dry, but grip remains fine. It'll probably be smelly when removed though.
Its got adhesive 3M tape on back rather than silicon grip (like on the cheaper LifeLine cork tape) which is a shame as I prefer the silicon.
It could be stretchier to assist a neat mount.

Nice texture and fine quality.
The leather feels good and looks good after taped on the handle bar. Good product.

Top notch comfort at reasonable price
I bought this own branded bar tape to replace the Fizik tape that had worn through. I was worried whether I would see a difference in quality as I don't wear gloves and I like a nice plush tape on my bars to smooth out vibrations. I needn't have worried. The tape is excellent, looks great and is very comfortable. It also grips well in the rain which is kind of useful for the UK!

Good Tape
Really good quality tape, very grippy and comfortable in use.
Be careful with the white tape, this one seems to get dirty very quickly (worse than the White Deda tape it replaced). Other than the expected white tape problems, it's great!

Cheap tape
Not really that padded.
Soaks up rain like a sponge.
Not very long.
But it is cheap so no real complaints.
It does have a nice "feel".
If you want padded tape, pay a little extra and get either the Fizik performance or Cinelli cork.
